| PackageDescription | GNU Radio Software Radio Toolkit
GNU Radio provides signal processing blocks to implement software
radios. It can be used with readily-available low-cost external RF
hardware to create software-defined radios, or without hardware in a
simulation-like environment. It is widely used in hobbyist, academic
and commercial environments to support both wireless communications
research and real-world radio systems.
.
GNU Radio applications are primarily written using the Python
programming language, while the supplied performance-critical signal
processing path is implemented in C++ using processor floating-point
extensions, where available. Thus, the developer is able to implement
real-time, high-throughput radio systems in a simple-to-use,
rapid-application-development environment.
.
While not primarily a simulation tool, GNU Radio does support
development of signal processing algorithms using pre-recorded or
generated data, avoiding the need for actual RF hardware.
.
This package contains the gnuradio-companion, a graphical tool for
creating signal flow graphs and generating flow-graph source code.
Also included are a variety of tools and utility programs. |
